3 - What is Willing Seller - Willing Buyer? How it Works

3 months ago

As directed by Parliament through the Canada National Parks Act, the Government of Canada cannot expropriate private
property in order to enlarge or establish a national park or national park
reserve. Private lands would only ever be purchased on a willing seller-willing
buyer basis, based upon independent property appraisals in conjunction and
agreement with private land owners and once the proposed national park reserve is
established. The federal government has no jurisdiction over property rights on
privately owned land adjacent to or within the boundaries of a national park or
national park reserve.
